Filter by:This is a 2-part multicenter Phase 1b study designed to test icapamespib in patients with recurrent brain lesions. Part 1 of the trial will be a standard 3 by 3 dose escalation design where different doses are examined. Part 2 will be a dose expansion cohort to further evaluate the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The RP2D is defined as the dose level recommended for further clinical study, or the highest dose tested.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Survival of patients with these brain tumors is directly related to the extent of resection. Consequently, a great deal of effort has been directed at developing techniques and technologies that allow more extensive, safe resections. This study will test a loupe-based wearable device in the clinical setting and compare its accuracy with a large operative microscope to identify tumor tissues. Postoperative histopathological analysis on tumor tissues will be used as gold standards for comparison. The outcome from this study will be a low-cost, miniaturized, easy-to-operate, loupe-based fluorescence imaging device for intraoperative guidance of brain tumor resection with the same level of accuracy as the large microscope.
Patients with a new diagnosis of high-grade glioma based on MRI, who are considered surgical candidates determined by neurosurgeons or patients with recurrent glioblastoma with the initial diagnosis of glioblastoma (histologic or molecular proof) and recommended for clinically surgical resection may be eligible for this study. Subjects may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age. Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI will be used to quantify tumor-associated macrophages. This is a non-therapeutic trial in that imaging will not be used to direct treatment decisions. The blood draw is being completed to evaluate cell-free circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA).
Adjuvant chloroquine to the conventional treatment for glioblastoma; A randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I/II trial.
Currently, the optimal treatment regimen for elderly Glioblastoma (GBM) patients with poor performance status (PS) is unknown. Based on data for elderly GBM patients and the limited data for patients with poor PS, hypofractionated RT or a short course of Temozolomide (TMZ) may provide survival benefit without the added toxicity and inconvenience of a more protracted treatment regimen. In particular, treatment with RT or TMZ monotherapy on the basis of methylated O6 - methyl guanine - DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status, followed by the alternative therapy at progression, may provide a safe and effective treatment regimen for patients with poor PS. The hypothesis of this trial is that in elderly GBM patients with poor performance status (age ≥ 65 years and KPS 50-70), a biomarker-guided approach to therapy results in non-inferior overall survival compared to combined TMZ/RT. Specifically, biomarker-guided therapy will consist of TMZ monotherapy for patients with a methylated MGMT promoter, and hypofractionated RT (40 Gy in 15 fractions) for patients with a non-methylated MGMT promoter. It is hypothesized that biomarker-guided therapy will result in non-inferior progression-free survival, reduced toxicity and increased cost-effectiveness compared to combined chemoradiotherapy. Primary objective: • To compare overall survival of standard vs biomarker-guided therapy in elderly and frail patients with newly diagnosed GBM. Secondary objective: - To evaluate progression-free survival following treatment in both arms. - To evaluate adverse events according to CTCAE criteria in both arms. - To evaluate health-related quality-of-life as assessed by MoCA and EORTC QLQ-C30/QLQ-BN20 questionnaires in both arms. - To evaluate cost-effectiveness of standard vs biomarker-guided therapy Methods: Patients will be randomized to two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio. Standard Arm: TMZ with concurrent RT (combined modality arm) Patients will receive 15 days of TMZ daily with concurrent RT. TMZ will be delivered at a dose of 75 mg/m2, given daily with RT. TMZ will be administered 1 hour before each session of RT. After a 4-week break, patients will receive six cycles of adjuvant TMZ according to the standard 5-day schedule (days 1-5) every 28 days, up to 6 cycles as tolerated by the patient. The dose will be 150 mg/m2 for the first cycle and increased to 200 mg/m2 beginning with the second cycle, so long as there are no hematologic adverse events, intractable nausea or fatigue. Investigational Arm: Biomarker based treatment MGMT (+): TMZ monotherapy Patients will receive TMZ at a dose of 75 mg/m2 daily for 15 days on weekdays (Monday through Friday). This will be followed by six cycles of TMZ according to the standard 5-day schedule (days 1-5) every 28 days. The dose will be 150 mg/m2 for the first cycle and increased to 200 mg/m2 beginning with the second cycle, so long as there are no hematologic adverse events. Dose will be determined using the body surface area (BSA) calculation. MGMT methylation (-): No TMZ will be given. Participants will receive radiation treatment with 40Gy / 15 fractions over a period of 21 days (3 weeks). Upon treatment completion, participants will be followed by every 3 months for 2 years and every 6 months for years 3-5. Response and progression will be evaluated using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology working group (RANO).
The investigator propose a single-center randomized phase II controlled study designed to compare the management of first recurrence of GBM using etoposide versus tamoxifen.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Xoft Axxent eBx System when used for single-fraction IORT for recurrent Glioblastoma. IORT using the Xoft Axxent eBx System is no worse than (non-inferior) GliaSite radiation therapy when used as stand-alone radiation treatment immediately following maximal safe neurosurgical resection in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel, 2-arm, efficacy and safety study. Patients with GBM after failure of standard first line therapy will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive berubicin or lomustine for the evaluation of OS. Additional endpoints will include response and progression outcomes evaluated by a blinded central reviewer for each patient according to RANO criteria. A pre-planned, non-binding futility analysis will be performed after approximately 30 to 50% of all planned patients have completed the primary endpoint at 6 months. This review will include additional evaluation of safety as well as secondary efficacy endpoints. Enrollment will not be paused during this interim analysis.
Increasing preclinical and clinical data have shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) may represent a significant driver of immunosuppression in glioblastoma (GBM, grade IV astrocytoma) and a potential mechanism of treatment resistance to chemoradiotherapy. Tadalafil, an FDA-approved drug with inexpensive cost and excellent safety profile, has been shown to effectively reduce MDSCs and restore T-cell activation in the peripheral blood and in the tumor microenvironment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of targeting MDSCs in newly diagnosed IDH-wildtype grade III-IV astrocytoma by combining tadalafil with standard of care radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ).
This is a single-arm, non-randomized, open-label Phase 2 therapeutic study that will assess the effects of adding BPM31510 onto a conventional treatment framework of RT and concurrent TMZ chemotherapy for subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
